Frantic leaders manage too much and lead too little. Doing it all only works on TV commercials and in the movies.

Engage in fewer activities – behaviors that matter most.

You must know what matters, before you can do it.

The 5 ultimate responsibilities of leadership:

1. Define and focus on what matters now.

The delivery of value requires the elimination of irrelevant behaviors and low-value activities. Distraction is more than a nuisance. It’s a subtle enemy that crushes organizations. Never dance with distraction – defeat it with merciless focus.

2. Develop and maximize talent through coaching.

The real product of leadership is achievement through fulfilled people.

Coaching enables ownership, fulfillment, energy, and learning for teammates with aspirations to grow.
